Whole30 Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

The holidays are coming up which means many of us will be indulging in stuffing, pies, and other forms for carbs and sugar. Because I know these amazing meals are ahead, I try to keep my “in between” meals healthier. One of my favorite healthy meals right now is this Whole30 Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie. A lot of people were asking me about this recipe when I made it Sunday for dinner. I had a friend make this recipe for me a few weeks ago and my husband and I both loved it! I am now going to share it with you.

FOUR reasons why I love this recipe:

EASY to make and little ingredients

Whole 30 friendly(No dairy, flour, gluten, sugar, organic – click HERE to learn more about the Whole30. I did this last January and it changed my perspective on food.)

I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. This give it a sweet and salty flavor. (This is my friend’s genius idea)

I can make this ahead and pop it in the oven whenever I plan on eating it. It does not have to be made in one sitting.

Disclaimer* I am still learning how to actually take photos of food haha. Take it easy on me. Don’t judge a book by its cover ; )

When potatoes are done: turn off heat, drain potatoes, and add a few tablespoons of Ghee. Mash the potatoes and set aside

Set oven to Bake 350 degrees

While potatoes are boiling, saute garlic and onion until translucent (3-5 minutes)

Add sausage, paprika, and red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and cook until til golden brown – add brown sugar if you wish – make sure you do not have too hot of pan because brown sugar could crystalize.

Add rest of veggies. – cook until soft. 8ish minutes.

Add sausage, carrot, and celery mixture to a greased cooking dish.

Add mashed sweet potatoes on top.

Spring with parsley

Bake for 25-30 minutes. (It is already cooked prior to putting in the oven, so all you are doing is “heating everything together”)

*Recommended: Eat with someone you love (friend, spouse, family member, doc, etc) and talk about what you are grateful for that day. 😀
